The National Monuments Service's description
According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 373) in reference to Graine Hill, 'A very ancient highway from Munster crosses over the top of the Hill...This road divides the Hill into two nearly equal parts, leaving that to the south in the present townland of Ballinascarry [Ballynascarry], and that to the north in Glounreeagh [Glenreagh]'. There is currently insufficient evidence to warrant its inclusion as an archaeological monument.
